There's not much to say
Besides things already said
Yet my mind still wanders
As off to bed I head

Is it right to step back
Or is this a good bye
Still I know there must be
A break between you and I

We were moving way to fast
To really understand
Otherwise I wouldn't feel forced
when you need a helping hand

You'd also always know
That silence isn't bad
Can be comfortable with friends
As I was, in days we've had

My fire must burn brightly
Not be smothered by anyone
Yet, I was running out of room
To sit back and just have fun

There wasn't time for any friends
Or to do my "job"
You took my attention for yourself
To others, now I seem a snob

And when I tried to fix the gaps
Between here and then
Arguements were started
That I know I'd never win

I don't think you understand
Quite what I'm trying to say
Just remember that I love you
But at a cost I can not pay

It's a never ending cycle
Once it's started a deadly spin
I will not live with possesiveness
Least not like I did back then

So as I lay my head down
I'll consider carefully
Then once again decide on
This break for you and me.

I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.

Enjoyed reading this. No one should feel smothered in a relationship.

It's a good thing to step back and consider before it is too late.  Good writing.  Joyce

Angel,

you are so right to feel this way. wholesome love must contain the freedom to continue to grow as an individual as well as a couple. "If the bird doesn't return then it really wasn't yours" Enjoyed the sharing of your thoughts very much.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
